RE Staying LongAfterburner, Tech Resources (stock sym TCK) has been around Hinton for years. With coal prices being at 7 year lows they still manage to stay well afloat between $17-$28 /share. Their project near hinton is called "Cardinal River Mine" and has a mine life of 25 more years. They are mostly steel making coal with just a little of thermal coal production.
Coalspur on the other hand will be all thermal coal (Largest deposit in Canada), so i would guess with the success of Teck, Coalspur is in the right place at the right time. Building when prices are low seems viable. A few more permits and finalizing with their finances, i see this stock picking up the pace and in due time the rewards will come. Production estimated second half of 2016, Rumours around town says construction will commence this summer. Please DYO DD this is just some little inside info ive managed to render.
